Once your network is up and running, it's up to you to keep it healthy. This means incorporating all of the security features that come with your operating system, whether it's Windows Vista or Windows XP, and taking care of your network hardware properly. If your network computers aren't healthy (or have security problems), your network won't be healthy, either. Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Symantec acknowledges that  Microsoft’s having the shortest average patch development time:

“Of the five operating systems tracked in the first six months of 2007 (figure 18), Microsoft had the shortest
average patch development time at 18 days, based on a sample set of 38 patched vulnerabilities. Of the
38 vulnerabilities, two affected third-party applications. This is lower than the average patch development
time of 23 days in the second half of 2006 based on a sample set of 50 vulnerabilities, seven of which
affected third-party applications.“
